Introducing the @sequoia Gen AI Market Map!🌎 We’ve decided to map out this emerging frontier, thanks to all the contributions and feedback we’ve received.
This space is moving quickly – this map is a living document, so keep the suggestions coming! Who else should we include?

Here are some of the projects that get us excited:
Copywriting tools like @copy_ai @heyjasperai @getanyword @ContendaCo @regieai @copysmith_ai @hypotenuse_labs make it easy to generate blog posts, product descriptions, landing pages, Tweets, and more. Who needs a $200K ghostwriter when you have copy.ai? 👀
Marketers can’t have all the fun – the rest of us get writer’s block too. What about a new text editor with generation at its core? Think Google Docs that can generate entire paragraphs for you. @Get_Writer #Moonbeam #Lex are exploring this space. writer.com
Now that machines can read, they can auto populate companies' knowledge bases with semantic understanding. This means Gen AI can answer questions and file and retrieve documents - a smart, self organizing workspace. @gleanwork @memdotai glean.com
Coding is the highest leverage form of language, so generative coding may just be the holy grail of Gen AI. The early results from @github and @Replit suggest a future where anybody with product sensibility can generate a fully functioning app. replit.com
Text-to-image models make us feel like the next Picasso or Studio Ghibli. @OpenAI @midjourney @StabilityAI @WOMBOAI1 @craiyonAI each allow us to create images with a different mood or timbre. Up next: more sophisticated editors, social experiences, search engines, and more.
It’s exciting to think about how AI can help rapidly concept fantastic new worlds in film, television, and more. @SALT_VERSE is creating a 70s style scifi multi-plot film, built entirely with generative models.
Gaming experiences may be generated by users or machines on the fly – with AAA level quality. @AiDungeon was one of the first projects to imagine the experience using text-based models, and image and 3D should be ready soon. Here is “Raccoon Heist” from @simonwu:
Design - from interiors/architecture to software to physical products - is up for reinvention. Moodboarding, inspiration, iteration should become drastically faster and better. Less time wasted pushing pixels or organizing artifacts manually. @diagram is a nice example here.
Video - one of the richest but hardest-to-master mediums of communication - is getting democratized. @runwayml is making it possible for anybody to create Hollywood quality movies with text-to-video, text-based colorization and more. runwayml.com
Speech Gen allows us to immerse ourselves in experiences that bring out the emotional and expressive qualities of human speech. @play_ht podcast.ai is bringing some of these legends to life in podcast form. We're deep in the uncanny valley with this one.
These apps provide an interesting glimpse into what the future may hold. Once you see a machine produce complex functioning code or brilliant images, it’s hard to imagine a future where machines don’t play a fundamental role in how we work and create.

Who did we miss? Let us know! DMs open. 🦾
Update: grateful & overwhelmed by the sheer volume of additions, corrections, and support on this map! Getting to work organizing this all into an updated map. Will be back soon. Keep the suggestions coming :)
As promised: here is our @sequoia Gen AI market map V2! Very thankful for the hundreds of folks who wrote in additions and edits. AI people are amazing 🥹
We've tried to keep this map high signal:noise and only included apps where generative AI (defined as LLMs or other unsupervised learning + generative) is core to the product experience. We also couldn't fit every single image or copy generation app.
This map is still far from complete & far from perfect. We had the difficult task of filtering through a long list of amazing companies and narrowing it down to this set. I'm sure I made mistakes along the way. If there's something I overlooked, please DM me!
Again, this is a living document, so please keep sending tips and edits over :)
I’m also on cloud nine from a week of conversations with incredible AI founders! @gradypb @KostaBuhler @romie_boyd @charliecurnin and I are holding @sequoia AI Office Hours as a way to meet more founders & builders: please sign up here! forms.gle/rLzjf92xukSR3V…
